Are ICO's Dead?

[Saugani]

NOPE

I say - they are ALIVE!

Yeah you hear me right!

They are ALIVE because they can no longer sleep on one ear knowing funds will come in regardless

They are ALIVE because they focus on building the technology

They are ALIVE because the market requires this

We are going through a maturing phase - the strong will survive and they will deliver.

No one will remember the ones who quit - no matter how strong they presented themselves to be

People will remember the ones who stayed and delivered.

I am part of the www.elrond.com team

Our prototype is now opensource and very soon we will deliver the first version of the testnet.

I think not yet, depending on the type of project e.g. such as implementation, purpose vision and mission, stage of development, the product of MVP, including core-team.

1. If the project ICOs interesting-great idea. Sure, I think it was to goal reached for (softcap or hardcap)

2. So far, they are still on ICOs looks such as partnership with a driven developer successful in blockchain or business company (venture capital) it to achieve a goal.

3. And other hand, was a lot to change the tokensale system ICOs through well really sure as you know via IEO (Initial Exchange Offerings) so it will look good.

some as different but very significant.

I also think ico is long dead. since the decline last year the ico project is all shit. most projects are currently scams. there are no more benefits investors can get from buying coins when ico.

On the contrary, those who invested in scam ICOs are still remembering till date. An experience of such cannot be forgotten, because they were cheated. Some have worked so hard for the money, so to forget might be very difficult.
ICOs are still very much around and i am glad to see some succeeding. Those succeding have got something unique to offer the world, which is why investors will trust and invest i them.

I think that now on the contrary will begin to emerge new and good projects. I hope that at the end of 2019 there will be a project similar in pace of its development and growth on Ethereum.

I think at the moment today, ico are struggling to be alive
There are a lot of failed ico already in 2019 and it’s going to continue because no investors joke around any more

And it takes more than a rating site to judge ico existence

emerging new projects I think that of course, but for good projects, I don't really believe before I see it. because the situation is so low, of course the market will feel down, and sometimes the project will experience things we don't want, so to assess the good or not of the project, indeed we have to see it first.

Since ICOs are trying to survive in this market, I think those projects that wanted to launch their platform should deliver first their product, either their prototype or their beta app.
People are now very hesitant to invest in a particular project because most of the time, the project can't deliver their promises and so they will just abandon them.
If a certain platform is really sincere in launching their technology, they should present an MVP first before trying to collect funds from the community.
Very few that I know of, successfully finished their ICO. Really hard to invest your hard-earned money with this crap projects.

[Samyalson]

They've fallen in popularity because of the lack of investor protection and the scams that come from that.

STOs will take their place, but there's still room for utility tokens, meaning ICOs won't die completely.

Well, he's not dead, there are single projects that shoot but usually it's a Scam and most of them just close and disappear with your funds, but I think when there will be a bullish trend then the ico will return

[bangjoe]

that is true but not everything will be like that, not all ICOs or projects will live and be able to go through this difficult phase because not everything is good and even worthy of being there.
I think whatever it is as long as they have a solid team and have something real to offer and sell then it will continue to live in any situation

[Dacosta Osei-Tutu]

Some group of people will just stand up and put some shit ideas on a paper and call it whitepaper, after which they will use it to scam people. Legit ICOs are only few.

[Rengga Jati]

Why everyone only ask about the death of ICOs? What do you think of the ICO project? ICO is only one of the project promotion in order to spread to all communities and investors. If you are sure that the ICO projects have the great and real product concept, why should only see the progress of the market right now? Mostly, ICO is for long-term investment, not for short term investment, where when it is listed, you must get the big profits, not at all.

[GymClassHeroes]

The bulk of ICO s are really not innovative and will eventually end up  as being a failed ICO.The focus should be on projects that can build a viable and self-sustaining ecosystems,.tjose are the kind of project that are "alive"

[Aniwura]

There are still very active and good ICOs.
Some are truly scam and some are just lacking in one area or the other and has made them not to succeed.
Imagine an ICO without professionals in its team, there is every likelihood it might not succeed.

[stefany101]

I think they aren't dead, there are so many people or organizations who wants to make their own cryptocurrency that's why they are still making an ICO project which can help to the crypto industry more successful and grow it's community. But the investors are the ones who are asleep for now because of too much number of scam ICOs.

[Sir Legend]

As information that currently there are hundreds of ICO live, and the number of ICOs certainly makes competition very tight, by 2018 around 80% of ICOs fail to achieve softcap so investors are worried for ICO invest.

[greenlanternlight01]

Well not all the cryptocurrencies are alive. And that's a good thing. There are a lot of scam and shit ICO'S. That's a good thing that those project are dying. But even more I think the people are more responsible when they invest. The hype on the ICO's is gone.. And the people who got in the ICO's without knowing what they were doing are left outside because they have lost 80-90% of the investment already.

[zero714309]

They are not so alive, they are dying whether you like it or not. Many of them are still shit. Becoming scams after they have profited from the investors and bounty hunters who have helped them gain more before running away.

You're right. ICO is not yet dead, but like only to change destination and become a scam in disguise. A lot of the fact that we have received in 2018 and beginning of 2019 many projects that stolen investors money with a variety of many reasons and when the investor asked the clarity of the project they just reasoned that does not know the end will be where. ICO is no longer promising in this time so we have to be more careful.

[maydna]

Some good project will alive, but the other project is dying and waiting for the market to recover so they can take part in the cryptocurrency market like the other coins. But it is difficult and perhaps, they need to wait for a long time before they can get the list in the exchanges and people can trade for their tokens. I think in the future, the ICO will still exist but it will change the form and not like in the last year as we know that in the last year, the ICO has not reached success.

[deredevil]

Ico isn't dead yet. indeed last year there were a lot of ico scams or ico that failed to reach the target, but it doesn't mean that ico is now dead, there are still ico running and hopefully this year there will be more ico appearing with a clear team and goals so investors don't hesitate to invest on ico in progress
